Speaking of brain dead.

Via The Hill:

Vice President Biden called for an increase in infrastructure spending during a speech Tuesday in Washington, arguing it will spur growth and create jobs.

“Build, build, build, build. … We built the transcontinental railroad,” Biden said at the event, hosted by CG/LA Infrastructure. “The first federal road was built from Washington to Ohio … [We] built a thing called the Eerie Canal.. ladies and gentlemen, we always have to build. That’s who we are.”

Biden called it “absolutely brain dead” not to be spending on infrastructure that improves U.S. ports.

“It’s like that old line from the baseball movie Field of Dreams: ‘If you build it, they will come,” Biden said at the event, which was sponsored by CG-LA. “Invest in these ports and guess what? Manufacturing will come.”
